Partnership Announced to Provide Integrated Rehabilitation Services

West Orange, NJ—Alaris Health at West Orange and Barnabas Health Heart Center at Newark
Beth Israel Medical Center (NBIMC) announce a partnership to provide integrated
medical care and rehabilitation services to patients who are recovering
from a variety of conditions. Alaris Health at West Orange will provide
patients with the same quality and continuity of care after they transition
from NBIMC allowing them to continue their recovery process. Founded on
a tradition of health care excellence, Alaris’ Member Health Centers
are leading providers of short-term post hospital rehabilitation, long
term and specialty care, with Member Health Centers throughout the state
of New Jersey.

“We are enthusiastic about this partnership and will offer the same
standard of excellence in medical care that patients receive at Newark
Beth Israel Medical Center,” said Avery Eisenreich, Founder of Alaris
Health of New Jersey. “We provide them with a seamless transition
to our dedicated facility. Our interdisciplinary approach to care, combined
with comprehensive rehabilitation, promotes quicker recovery and helps
patients return home more rapidly.”

Recovery after a major surgical event is different for every patient, and
the new partnership ensures that patients receive individual medical care
best suited to their needs. The services provided meet specific needs
for patients recovering from heart conditions such as heart failure, stable
angina, heart transplant, coronary bypass, device implant and heart valve
surgery. Other patients who benefit from individual services are those
with lung or kidney transplants.

“Although patients may transition from our Heart Center facility,
they can rest assured that all care is provided by a single team of expert
physicians and nurses who are in daily communication with the Alaris team
about the plan of care,” John A. Brennan, MD, MPH, President and
CEO, Newark Beth Israel Medical Center (NBIMC) and Children's Hospital
of New Jersey.
